Best Friends Forever
by Jennifer Weiner
Addie Downs and Valerie Adler will be best friends forever. That's what Addie believes after Valerie moves across the street when they're both nine years old. But in the wake of betrayel during their teenage years, Val is swept into the popular crowd, while mousy, sullen Addie becomes her school's scapegoat.
Flash forward fifteen years. Valerie Adler has found a measure of fame and fortune working as the weathergirl at the local TV station. Addie Downs lives alone in her parent's house in their small hometown of Pleasant Ridge, Illinois, caring for a troubled brother and trying to meet Prince Charming on the Internet. She's just returned from Bad Date #6 when she opens her door to find her long-gone best friend standing there, a terrified look on her face and blood on the sleeve of her coat. "Something horrible has happened, " Val tells Addie, "and you're the only one who can help."
Here is what our schedule is going to look like ahead:
In this particular novel, most chapters are pretty short, nothing too long and agonizing, so don't get your hanky panky's in a bunch. :) You'll have a week to read the designated chapters {which come out to be about 60 pages a week} and on each Friday I will blog about my thoughts and opinions on the book so far. Please feel free to comment on what you think too with any questions you may have as well!
July 24th: Start Reading!
July 31st: Chapters 1-7
